Atchmit had 3 sons, Benjamin Washington II, who had ten children
including Sarah Susan; William Nelson, who had nine children
including my grandfather James Vance Fauver and James Wilson
Fauver who died at fourteen.

Benjamin's name appears in Greene Co. GA deed book B and on a
series of tax records from 1789 through 1802. He purchased land
in Adams Co. MS in 1807, as a resident. Records for 1810 show
him on the Adams Co. MS tax rolls and other records for 1810
show him to be a settler in what is now East Feliciana, LA,
along with Atchmit who remained in LA after Benjamin went back
to MS a bit west of today's Brookhaven. Searching for Benj's
origins. Wm D. Fauver 6/12/97.

Volume XV Fall 1987 Number 4 , p. 218
FAUVER. William Dalrymple Fauver (331 Steele Blvd., Baton Rouge,
LA 70806) earnestly seeks information about Banjamin Fauver,
his wife Permelia and their predecessors. He was on the Tax
Rolls of Greene Co. GA from 1789 through 1802, but family
legend gives his 1806 arrival in LA from Edgefield District, SC.
The year may be right, but the legend omits his proven stays in
GA and MS. Still, the names he gave some of his sons may have a
SC flavor; not necessarily in order of birth: Atchmit,
Nathaniel, William, Littleberry Nelson and Benjamin Washington.
Daughters were named Sarah and Priscilla. Benjamin may have had
a sister named Sarah. The surname has been found subject to
various spellings.
Will gladly reimburse normal costs for copies and postage.

The Bible of Elizabeth, wife of William East of East Feliciana
Parish, La., is now in the possession of a great-great-grandson,
Charles E. East, of 1455 Knollwood Drive, Baton Rouge, La. It is
a small book printed in 1812, and carries this inscription
inside the front cover:
"Elizabeth East her book, Feb. 24th, 1833 Marking (?) Larence
County." This may be a reference to Lawrence County, Miss.,
where some members of the family were living at about that time.
She was born Elizabeth Forbes; she was married first to Atcbmit
Fauver and second to William East. According to her gravestone,
5 mi. west of Clinton, La., she died September 7, 1862, aged 64
years. Other records give her birth date as "about 1800."

Notes

Aunt Cloie was great with children. She was a teacher at Vivian,
LA public schools. She started teaching at age 18. When I was 4
or 5 my parents went on vacation to Mexico. Aunt Cloie took
care of us. we went to her parents home in Mcleod, TX a short
distance from Vivian. They had a big farm house, with all kinds
of goodies. a storm cellar where it was very cool and filled
with food. We all had a grand time in the barn. Dorothy fell
and broke her arm. Mama and daddy brought me presents from
Mexico. After that my brother and I always had a yen for
Mexico.

Aunt Cloie had her children late in life, they were small when
Uncle Buck died. Cloie retuned to college to re-qualify as a
teacher at Northwestern in Natchioches, LA. She taught at
Summer Grove, LA, a Elementary school, in a suburb of
Shreveport after graduation.

She was a great cook....she taught me a lot, especially turkey,
dressing, hash. Once James and I had a pig left over from 4-H,
and Cloie made hogshead cheese. A very long and detailed
process, she mixed a lot of love into her cooking and was it
good!

Her second marriage was to an old family friend from Vivian. He
provided them with a new home in Summer Grove, LA.
